The freshman from Philadelphia averaged 21 points per game and made 50 percent of his shots in two games last week.

Sessoms has been the best performer for the Bearcats over the team's first ten games. He is currently averaging 18.3 points per game overall which is fourth in America East. He is now ninth in scoring among freshmen nationwide at the Division I level.
